Description
This contribution to the CRC will ensure that they can support Canadians’ needs stemming from the COVID-19 crisis. This is an horizontal approach between the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and PS that will enable the CRC to conduct urgent relief activities in line with both federal organizations’ priorities.
Description (French)
Cette contribution au CRC veillera à ce qu’ils puissent répondre aux besoins des Canadiens découlant de la crise du COVID-19. Il s’agit d’une approche horizontale entre l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada (ASPC) et SP qui permettra au CRC de mener des activités de secours urgentes conformément aux priorités des deux organisations fédérales.
Expected Results
The CRC has the capacity to respond to all hazards risk including COVID-19 related urgencies, and to make necessary adaptations as a result of COVID-19 for its response to other simultaneously occurring events. Intermediate: Given the potential and actual impact of COVID-19 on the CRC’s roster of volunteers and staffers, the project will support CRC’s efforts to ensure continued availability of volunteers, general and highly specialized personnel to support Canadians when disasters occur. As well as improved access to CRC services and information for Canadians and public safety personnel through upgrades to the CRC’s information technology infrastructure and new service delivery models to address the gaps that are caused by COVID-19.
Expected Results (French)
Le CRC a la capacité de répondre à tous les risques, y compris les urgences liées au COVID-19, et d'apporter les adaptations nécessaires à la suite du COVID-19 pour sa réponse à d'autres événements simultanés. Intermédiaire: Étant donné l’impact potentiel et réel de COVID-19 sur la liste des bénévoles et du personnel du CRC, le projet appuiera les efforts du CRC pour assurer la disponibilité continue de bénévoles, de personnel général et hautement spécialisé pour aider les Canadiens en cas de catastrophe. En plus d'améliorer l'accès aux services et à l'information du CRC pour les Canadiens et le personnel de la sécurité publique grâce à des mises à niveau de l'infrastructure de technologie de l'information du CRC et de nouveaux modèles de prestation de services pour combler les lacunes causées par COVID-19.

(COV19) Soutenir la préparation de la Croix-Rouge canadienne aux efforts de secours urgents liés à Covid-19 et aux prochaines saisons d'inondations et d'incendies
Program Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has put pressure on the health system of many jurisdictions through a sharp increase in Canadians requiring medical attention as well as challenging the capacity of supporting organizations. Furthermore, the pandemic has disrupted the logistics and supply chain of diverse sectors supporting emergency management. This leads to increased national risk with regards to effective response to floods and wildfires.
The Supporting the Canadian Red Cross’s Urgent Relief Efforts Related to COVID-19, Floods and Wildfires program (the ‘Program’) is a contribution program, ending March 31, 2021, that will provide funding to the CRC so that it may continue to respond to COVID-19 as well as to floods and wildfires which will present new and unprecedented challenges related to the pandemic context (e.g., the need to support any potential evacuees by: enabling social distancing; delivering specialized disaster case management services virtually; and, ensuring staff have access to personal protective equipment (PPE) as needed).
Program Purpose (French)
La pandémie de COVID-19 a mis la pression sur le système de santé de nombreuses juridictions en raison d'une forte augmentation du nombre de Canadiens nécessitant des soins médicaux et en remettant en question la capacité des organisations de soutien. En outre, la pandémie a perturbé la logistique et la chaîne d'approvisionnement de divers secteurs soutenant la gestion des urgences. Cela conduit à un risque national accru en ce qui concerne une réponse efficace aux inondations et aux incendies de forêt.
Le programme Soutenir les efforts de secours d'urgence de la Croix-Rouge canadienne liés au COVID-19, aux inondations et aux incendies de forêt (le «programme») est un programme de contribution, se terminant le 31 mars 2021, qui fournira des fonds au CRC afin qu'il puisse continuer à répondre. à COVID-19 ainsi qu'aux inondations et incendies de forêt qui présenteront des défis nouveaux et sans précédent liés au contexte de la pandémie (par exemple, la nécessité de soutenir les évacués potentiels en: permettant la distanciation sociale; en fournissant virtuellement des services spécialisés de gestion des cas de catastrophe; et, en assurant le personnel a accès à un équipement de protection individuelle (EPI) si nécessaire).
